The N86 prints receipts on thermal paper: no ink or ribbon needed. The N6 has no printer and sends the receipt digitally.
Which paper to buy #
| Feature | Value |
|---|---|
| Type | Thermal paper |
| Width | 57 mm |
| Roll diameter | 30 mm at most |
| Core (the inner tube) | 12 mm |
A roll larger than 30 mm will not fit in the compartment. Choose paper free of bisphenol A (BPA) and bisphenol S (BPS): it is safer for anyone handling receipts all day.
The terminal box includes a spare roll. You can buy more at a stationery shop or online.
Changing the roll #
- Turn the terminal over: the printer cover is on the back, where the contactless logo is. It has no lever and simply clips shut: take hold of it at the top, on the side of the cover, and pull it towards you.
- Remove the core of the empty roll.
- Insert the new roll with the loose end facing away from the screen.
- Pull out a few centimetres of paper and close the cover, pressing until it clicks.
- Tear off the excess paper downwards.
If the receipt comes out blank, the roll is in the wrong way round: thermal paper only prints on one side.
Storing the paper #
- Keep it away from sun and heat: thermal paper turns black.
- Printed receipts fade over time: for your accounts use the Statements and the transaction history, not the paper.
